I purchased a low-price microscope on Amazon, but it only goes to 4X so I can't clearly see individual trichomes or tell clear from cloudy.

What power magnification do I need? Do you have a microscope you recommend?

Looking to stay under $50.

Thanks

That pic looks good enough for me, but I use this one.

the pic is what I am looking for, not what I get. Altho the af said 1,000 x it only does 4 X

the pic is what I am looking for, not what I get. This is the level of magnification I want

that pic looks to be from a professional microscope,.
probably at least $200-300,..
your not gonna find anything of quality on amazon that’s for sure.

The one I linked to works great for $20…here’s an example 50-1000x

I have that same Amazon microscope, it's exactly what you need. Don't listen to anyone tell you its not 1000x, it most certainly is. I couldn't believe how good it is, I paid like $30 for it a year or two ago. I was using a jewelers loupe and compared to the microscope, the loupe isn't worth jack.

Those ones on Amazon that are shaped like a microphone are a nice cheap price and use a generic app in the store called "Max-See." You can see what you need to see but trying to snap a pic is a little tricky without it coming out blurry if you don't have something to hold it steady for the close up.

I have one of those that uses Max-See and it works well enough. To get clear pics it helps to have an assistant to use the button on the phone when you tell them to. The main problem I have with it is the knob to adjust the magnification is really tight so it's impossible to hold steady while adjusting. But for 20$ I'm happy with it.
